The\u200d incident occurred at Rancho High School in eastern Las Vegas on November\u2063 1st, \u200dresulting \u200din the death of 17-year-old Jonathan\u2062 Lewis Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Two 16-year-olds and two 17-year-olds will face adult charges for their involvement in the deadly beating. District Attorney Steve Wolfson\u2062 explained \u200dthat his office decided against filing a first-degree murder charge as the beating was not\u200d a premeditated act based on the available evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicate that at least ten students between the ages \u2063of 13 and\u2062 17 participated in the fight. So far, eight of them have been\u2062 arrested, while the remaining students, who are younger than 16, are awaiting a separate hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities\u2063 claim that the fight was organized off campus after school, following an argument over stolen items including a vape pen and \u2064wireless headphones.\u2063 In a \u2063captured \u200bvideo, the victim is seen preparing for the fight by\u2064 taking off his shirt. Suddenly, ten students \u2063swarm him, dragging him to the ground and inflicting kicks, punches, and \u200cstomps.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Lewis Jr. was hospitalized with severe head trauma and other injuries following the attack.\u2062 Unfortunately, he passed \u2063away a week later due to his \u200binjuries.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Draskovich, \u200cthe attorney representing one of the accused 17-year-old students, has questioned the validity of the videos shared on social media, stating that they are incomplete. He promises to thoroughly investigate the footage to determine what truly\u200c transpired during\u2062 the incident.<\/p>\n<p>In Nevada, if a teenager aged 13 or older is charged \u200dwith murder, they can face\u200d adult charges. However, before transferring the case to the adult court system, a family court judge will conduct a certification\u200c hearing to review the \u200cevidence\u200c and\u2063 the\u200d teen&#8217;s past history. In the cases of \u200cthe four older students involved in this incident, a judge has already decided to transfer their cases to adult court.<\/p>\n<p>It was also announced that\u200b a ninth arrest was made on Tuesday, although \u200dno further details have \u2064been released at this time.<\/p>\n<p>As this is a developing \u200bstory, updates are\u200c expected to be provided in the\u2062 future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B| A makeshift memorial for a high school student lines a fence along an alleyway near Rancho High School in eastern Las Vegas on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2023.
